The morning after the annihilation of the goblin village, Ray sees the women off in a carriage.
　Fortunately, the carriage was of considerable space, so all the women could get in.
　Even so, it was quite cramped, but there was no complaint from the women as to whether they should have welcomed the fact that they were in close contact with their peers.

"First of all, this matter is the end of the matter?"

　Next to Ray, who was seeing off the carriage, the knight muttered with an indescribable subtle expression.
　For a knight, it must have been thought that a goblin had formed a community near where he was - a few hours' walk away - and that he had brought a woman from somewhere.
　It was honest with the knight that he had also had to write a report on the matter last night or today.
　In this case, if possible, I would have liked things to proceed a little more slowly.
　However, if the situation progressed slowly, it would have been better if the women had been s*xually assaulted by the goblins for such a long time.

"Well, I don't know if this is really the end, considering that we've missed the top or rare species that led the village. ...if possible, I'd like to knock it down before creating a new settlement."

　Ray told me so, but it was true that he found it difficult to find a new goblin settlement.

"Ray, can you send me and Hwana?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. Let's go."

　Anastasia calls out to Ray, who was talking to the knight.
　In Anastasia's mind, who was able to send the women who were worried to Gilm safely, there must have already been some thought about how to proceed with Whisp's research.
　Fana, who is next to Anastasia, created an atmosphere that seemed a little dumbfounded by the speed of switching.
　Ray asks Setho as usual and heads with Anastasia and Fana towards the middle of the Trent Forest... again, he encounters a few goblins along the way and knocks them down one after another.

(Didn't you go back to the village? No, given the intelligence of the goblins, do you happen to remember the place of the village? ...I'm afraid it's going to be normal.)

　Given the intelligence of the goblins, it's no wonder that Ray doesn't know where the settlement is.
　Then, the location of the village was lost, so I found the rays and attacked them first.
　Even if you say so, Ray is convinced.
　In any case, Ray's death size easily kills the goblins, partly due to silent pressure from Anastasia and Fana on board together.
　So they move killing the goblins, and it takes Ray a little longer than usual to drive them to the middle of the Trent forest.
　Until yesterday, Ray would go inside the underground space and check on Whispers, but today he had to return to the camp as soon as possible because of the water wolf incident.
　However, by working with them all day yesterday, I knew very well what the water wolf was like... at least it wasn't hostile to the people in this world, it was a very friendly existence.

"Then don't go back. I'll come back in the evening, so I'll ask you to study Whisp until then. "If possible, I would like to make further progress in my research."""
"Don't push yourself too hard. In the first place, this kind of research is basically plain. That's about it, isn't Ray?"
"Well, but when you think about Whisp, it's only natural that you want to know about it as soon as possible?"
"Yes, but if you rush your research around there, some researchers will throw it away easily, so you should be careful."

　Anastasia looks as if she were such a researcher.
　Ray can understand that, considering Anastasia's personality, he would not give up his research even if forced to do so.
　It would not have been strange to do something like attack on someone who has been rushing his research.

I'll be careful. Anyway, I left the research to you. I'll go back to the camp."

　As they speak, Anastasia and Fana head into the underground.
　Ray hides the doorway and heads to the camp with Seto.

"Gruh!"

　Seto was running through the Trent Forest towards the camp, but suddenly stopped.
　At the moment, a flame breaks out from the top of the tree and burns a short distance in front of the seto.

"What!"

　While balancing on Seto's back, Ray quickly observes the surroundings.
　He was clearly attacked.
　If that's the case, look around carefully to see what kind of opponent has attacked... I notice Seto staring at the branches of the tree.
　What's this?
　With that in mind, Ray looks at the branches of the tree that Seto is looking at, but when he sees the branches moving, he prepares to shake the death-size and twilight spear he took out of Mystiling.

"Sigh!"
"You're lying... I didn't notice at all."

　The branches of the tree... No, the snake monster that was pretending to be the branches of the tree moves.
　The snake with two heads is definitely a monster.
　His body is about 2 meters long, so he must be a troublesome partner.
　And the most troublesome thing was...

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhush!"

　The two heads simultaneously fireballs.
　an attack that fires a ball made of fire rather than a firebreath attack
　Seto avoided these two fireballs by jumping from the spot.

"Fly!"

　On top of Seto's vaulting back, Ray wields a death-size attack.
　The cut-off, which flew straight, succeeded in cutting off the branches of the tree where the snake was.

"Don't use flames in the woods... No!"

　At the same time, the spear of twilight is thrown, but the snake, which was falling along the branches of the tree, kicks a branch in the air and jumps from the spot to avoid a blow from the spear of twilight.

"Don't do it."
"Guru!"

　Seto nods in agreement to Ray's words.
　There is no doubt that he is a very troublesome enemy who imitates a branch of a tree and has the ability to shoot fireballs from both heads.

"First of all, we need to defeat that enemy as soon as possible. ...if you drag out the fight badly, the Trent Forest will turn into a wildfire. No, it's not a mountain, so is it a forest fire? No, it's not. Was it a forest fire?"

　While saying these words, Ray firmly sees the double-headed snake landing on the ground.
　Prepare to let the enemy attack you... a coiled snake leaps high using its body like a spring and opens its mouth in the air to fireballs.
　It was not a big flame ball as before, but a series of small flame balls.

"Hey, you're going to do something troublesome!"

　Shake his magical death size and cut small flame balls one after another.
　Even for a double-headed snake, a fireball may not be a powerful attack that can be fired in succession.
　In a few seconds in the air, he shot the flame ball to the limit, and tried to land on the ground...

"LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL!"

　Seto tries to deliver a forefoot blow to the two snakes coming down to earth... but the next moment, the snake wraps itself around a branch of a tree nearby and stops falling.
　Originally, a blow to the front leg would have hit the mark, but the two snakes managed to evade the attack.
　Ray can easily understand that the two snakes are used to fighting just by that movement.
　...but still, it was only a story of ordinary monsters, and it was a very blessed race called the Gryphon, who were able to use their skills in magic and fought many battles against strong enemies in terms of combat experience.
　For Seto, a two-headed snake, who is used to fighting a little, was surprised at his behavior at first, but he is not a person who can't deal with it if he calms down.

"Slurp!"

　With Ray on his back, Seto kicks the ground.
　The double-headed snake shoots fireballs from two heads to intercept the seto, but the seto jumps and kicks the trunk of the tree, shaking its front legs at the double-headed snake like a triangular jump, crushing one of its heads.

"Slurp!"

　After delivering a blow to the forefoot, he used the magic eye of shock, and stopped for a moment the double-headed snake - which had lost only one head - . . .

"Eat it!"

　Ray's twilight spear penetrates his torso."Well..."

　One of the remaining heads uttered a voice like that and fell off a tree branch in desperation.

"Phew. It was so sudden. ... Well, I guess it can't be helped as long as it's outside of Gilmoo."
"Guru".

　At Ray's words, Seto grunts in agreement.
　Since this is outside Gilmoo, you can be attacked by monsters at any time.
　In fact, there are monsters such as goblins in their own way.
　Even so, this double-headed snake was quite a strong enemy, imitating and throwing up fireballs.
　It was because Ray and Seto were the only ones who easily knocked them down, but if the woodcutters or the adventurers guarding them were to encounter them, considerable damage could have been caused.

(It would be better to let the information about monsters like this be circulated.)

　If you know in advance what abilities you have, it's not easy to deal with when you encounter it... but you still have a better chance of surviving than when you encounter it in a situation where you don't know anything.

"Guru? Guru, guru, guru".

　He grunts at Ray, who is contemplating after seeing the bodies of two snakes, asking, "Why don't you dismantle Seto?"
　Rei, who was encouraged to do so, decided that since the two snakes were only about 2 meters long, it would not be so difficult to dismantle them.
　...because if it were to be disbanded in the camp, there was a possibility that other monsters would come smelling blood.
　Instead of smelling of blood, Ray felt that it was too late because he was always eating.
　In any case, one of the two snakes' heads has been crushed by a blow from Seto's front leg, so the remaining head is dropped with a dagger and then cut off the stomach.

"Wow!"

　Ray muttered reluctantly when a body of goblin, which had not melted completely, emerged from his stomach.
　For the time being, put your stomach into a hole made using a death-size terrain manipulation, and wonder if there is a place where other internal organs can be used as a material.
　Unfortunately, Ray didn't know anything about this double-headed snake, nor did he appear in the Monster Book, so after a few seconds of consideration, he pulls the magic stone out of his heart and places the body in the Mystery.
　After all, what I have now is a magical stone.
　And Ray had decided what to do with the magic stone.

"Set".
"Guru?"

　Do you understand what Ray wants to say? Is Seto okay? Make a cry.
　But from the moment Ray saw this double-headed snake, he had decided to use the magic stone for his seto.
　Considering the skills used by the two snakes, it was likely that the level of optical camouflage or firebreath would rise.
　Ray nods to Seto, hoping that the level of optical camouflage would improve if possible.
　Give Seto a magical stone washed with a running water dagger... Seto swallows it.

[Seto has mastered the skills of Firebreath Lv.4

　the voice of an announcement echoing through one's mind
　When Ray hears that, he mutters, "What a pity!"
　Of course, firebreath is not an out-of-the-box skill.
　Firebreaths are powerful and have a wide range of attacks.
　Also, for Seto, who is supposed to be Ray's follower, who is nicknamed crimson, it is strongly impressed by the people around him.
　Other than that, skills are dramatically strengthened when they reach level 5, but now they become level 5 when they reach level 4.
　In that sense, this improvement is not bad at all.
　It wasn't bad, but... still, Ray was honest that he wanted his optical camouflage to improve.
　The current optical camouflage exceeds Level 5, and the walls that are further strengthened are over.
　However, considering whether there are more enemies who use firebreath or optical camouflage, optical camouflage is still more common.

"Guru..."

　Seto grunts apologetically when he sees Ray.
　In such a situation, Ray hurriedly pats his head saying that there is no problem.

"First of all, there's no doubt that Seto has gotten stronger, so don't worry about that, is there?"

　At Ray's words, Seto squinted reassuredly.
